My passion for supporting mothers and babies who are
breastfeeding initially came from my own personal struggles and eventual
success with breastfeeding.I was a midwife and Lactation Consultant when I had
my only child (who is now 12!), yet still with all that knowledge, skill and
experience breastfeeding did not go to plan for me. Pregnancy and the
early [...]

My breastfeeding experiences were not without challenges however both were overwhelmingly positive and I worked Aromababy around my babies’ needs.
My first-born took almost three months to attach well and because I simply didn’t know any better, I persevered. He was not a very settled baby so breastfeeds during the night were common (and exhausting) nonetheless I breastfed Beau [...]

I always wanted to breastfeed my babies and I wanted to do
it for as long as I could or as close to 12 months as I could get, but I didn’t
get that far and that is ok.I wouldn’t say my journey was a tough one, it was tough at
the time but I have heard stories [...]

I have always wanted to be a mum
and the thought of breastfeeding was very exciting when I fell pregnant with my
first baby. After a complicated
pregnancy with ongoing issues post birth, breastfeeding was difficult to
establish and this was really upsetting for me.
The perceived notion that it comes naturally and therefore should be
easy weighed on [...]

One thing I remember most from my breastfeeding journey was my son's pediatrician
ensuring me that nothing lasts forever! Both of my babies were totally addicted to the boob. He wouldn't take a bottle or dummy, least to say is I was extremely tired not being able to share the feeds. I went to [...]

3 babies, 3 entirely different breastfeeding journeys.
My experience Breastfeeding my 3 babies has been very different, luckily it has become easier with each baby.
My 1st born was extremely challenging from the moment she was born. She was unable to latch on and would not take a bottle. For the most part of the first few [...]

I saw a quote this week that really resonated with me. It was around the whole ‘breast is best’ versus ‘fed is best’ mantras that are rampant around social media and parenting groups in particular, however this one talked about a different sort of ‘best’ that said it was…This really struck a chord within me [...]

When I had my son, breastfeeding initially came quite
naturally to us. He latched well for his first feed and since I had such a
large supply, the milk flowed and he was able to gain good amounts of milk at
each feed. This was all great at first, but as my milk settled in and started
to regulate, [...]

I have two children and two completely different
experiences. My first couldn’t feed from the breast at all. I tried for three
days, but it was so painful, like feeding a shark, and he was not transferring
milk. I sadly started formula feeding him when he was 4 days old, and he
couldn’t really feed from a bottle properly either. [...]
